Book 17: Dancing After Hours
Title: Dancing After Hours
Author: Andre Dubas
Genre: Short stories
Rating: 8/10
Synopsis: "In these fourteen stories, Dubus depicts ordinary men and women confronting injury and loneliness, the lack of love and the terror of actually having it. Out of his characters' struggles and small failures--and their unexpected moments of redemption--Dubus creates fiction that bears comparison to the short story's greatest creators--Chekhov, Raymond Carver, Flannery O'Connor."
I liked: I love short stories, and some of these were superb. The characters were well formed, which is difficult to do in short stories. Very nicely done.
I didn't like: A few of the stories weren't my favorites, but overall they were still enjoyable.
